Surface Preparation

• Ensure surfaces are clean, dry and free from grease and other contamination before coating.

• Thoroughly degrease and where applicable, abrade to remove rust and promote good adhesion of the coating. For optimum corrosion protection, mild steel should be blast cleaned to Sa2.5.

• Complex structures may be more effectively cleaned by HPWJ (high pressure water jetting).
